“The second half of this phase is getting the public more comfortable with the outliers. The people with stranger powers, and stranger appearances. You’re likable, Weld. You have a clearly unnatural appearance, if you’ll forgive me saying so-”
Yes, a clearly “unnatural” appearance, but not a “monstrous” one like Gregor’s. Weld is more on Newter’s end of the axis.
Weld shrugged. He stood out. There were a hundred things that bothered him more than stares and comments on the subject.
“-but you have fans, and people are interested in you. You get higher ratings for your interviews than even the average handsome hero gets.

You’re second most popular for team leaders for number of youtube videos, possibly helped by a briefly lived internet meme featuring your face,
Ahaha!
I wonder what exactly that meme was. 😛

and you have a blemish-free record, both academically and in your two years serving as a part of the Wards.”
In other words, an excellent good guy.
